    Tyres for winter, but not 'winter tyres'

    I'm going to be using my Cannondale rigid 26" MTB for NYC winter commuting (mostly bike paths and city streets) but wanted to keep it quite lightweight/fast and fun for park shreds in the snow. Choosing tyres at present, and I know already that spikes/studs are a total no-go and that I don't...

    Gumwall / Skinwall / Tanwall tyres on late '90s MTBs

    Wondering if any of you have pictures of your late-nineties / early-noughties MTBs rocking gumwalls (original, reissue or new)? Trying to decide on tyres for my rebuild... The Aqua Zaskar retromod thread helps, but still undecided.

    Shimano BB-UN72 Installation

    A square-taper BB quandary; I have an old but smooth BB-UN72 that I need to use on a build. The cups are in the opposite situation to how they're supposed to be, ie the Drive-Side cup is detached, and the Non-Drive-Side cup is stuck firmly on. I can't seem to tap it off with a screwdriver...

    Who still makes a 400mm+ alloy seatpost with setback?

    Other than Thomson, of course? I'm looking for a reasonably-handsome black/grey 400+mm seatpost for a build, need setback, don't want carbon and can't really afford Ti. There's not a lot out there, is there?

    Are new Shimano XT hubs a bit rubbish these days?

    Recently bought a pair of M785 XT hubs for an upcoming 26" build, and a few mechanics are telling me these hubs are crap. Tales of rapid failure of the freehub, badly-set-up bearings from the outset, and a generally more fragile nature than the simpler Deore hubs. I haven't laced these up yet...

    NOS NIB 1992 AlpineStars Cro-Mega 17.5" Frame

    Located in Brooklyn, NYC. Buyer may have a third party inspect, pay for and collect it. At that point, it's sold as seen, and you may arrange shipping (& insurance) yourself. I'm not willing to ship it personally, I've had too many lost/damaged/'never-received' items to trust carriers any...

    KHS Flite 800 (Reynolds 853)

    Current road steed is a KHS Flite 800 frameset from the year 2000. Reynolds 853 main tubes - I suspect the stays are nowt special. CF/Alu fork is stock, made by Advanced Composites (the parent company of Wound Up, I think). I transferred most of the components from my old LeMond - Mavic Ksyrium...

    Crazy-looking Klein Pinnacle

    It's in California. That seat is pure comedy but it seems like quite a lot of bike for $299.

    Bianchi Incline lugged steel MTB

    http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/bi ... 61566.html This looks nice, nothing too exotic though. Appears to be decked out in Mountain LX, and a quick google hints at Tange DB Cro-Mo tubes.

    On-One Pompino

    Intending to run this Fixed in summer, SSCX in winter. What with the name meaning 'blowjob', I'm not a man who pays for that sort of thing, so naturally I got the wife to treat me for my birthday :lol: Very impressed with the overall finish of it, though I've been intending to repaint it from...

    Breaking down wheels once rims are worn out

    I need to break down a pair of 26" wheels in order to retrieve the hubs and bin the worn-out rims & spokes. What's the recommended method? Do people cut spokes out, or do they undo each of them with a spoke wrench? Sorry, bit of a noob question.

    GT Cirque - Talk to me

    A local indy shop near me has a GT Cirque for sale, in what appears to be great condition. I'm not sure on how 'original' the components are but the frame and forks look virtually unridden and the whole bike is generally in quite amazing shape. The bars, grips and seat look like recent...
